WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — A funeral service will be held in Delaware for Jean Finnegan Biden, the mother of Vice President Joe Biden.

The Tuesday morning service will be at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Wilmington.

The vice president's 92-year-old mother died Friday after falling ill in recent days. She had suffered a broken hip in a fall in March 2009.

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will attend the funeral.
